Who should skip it
You resent paying $189 to $229 per person on top of everything else, or you need a December date, which is exactly what sells out first.
The move
The ticket gets you in at 4 PM for the 7 PM party, three extra hours in the park; November dates cost less and have shorter lines.
Getting there
Standard Magic Kingdom parking and the TTC transfer. Budget an hour car-to-castle each way, and the same again leaving at midnight.
One thing worth knowing
There are only 25 party nights in the whole season, and thirteen of them are in December.
Make it an outing
Eat at a resort before you go in. The party runs to midnight and a cocoa queue is not dinner.
